Vitus Sommet 297 AMP Mountain Bike

The Vitus Sommet 297 AMP features a carbon/alloy frame and a mixed-wheel platform (29″ front / 27.5″ rear). This setup offers the ultimate balance of strength, pace and agility at a low weight while also ensuring exceptional trail stability, comfort and control anywhere.

Vitus has armed this top-performing enduro race bike with 170mm-travel RockShox suspension front and rear – Zeb Ultimate forks and a Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock give you outstanding trail-smoothing traction for all-terrain racing. Spurring it onwards is a fast-shifting SRAM X01 Eagle groupset with a 10-52T cassette and powerful all-weather SRAM Code RSC hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls upon Tubeless Ready Nukeproof Horizon V2 wheels wrapped in Maxxis tyres and it features a RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper seatpost.

Ideal for Enduro, Bike Park and All Mountain Riding

When the trees are passing you in a blur and the beams of light and colour transport you to a new place. Is this what warp speed feels like? Float from take-off to landing and rip down descents, from bike park to big mountain and ragged off-piste. The rush as you roll out at the bottom of the trail and chase one last uplift. The rush that pushes you to explore your limits without overstepping the mark. This is for the full-face thrill seekers and the diehards. This is why you do it.

Mixed-Wheel Size for Optimised Speed, Agility and Control

The Sommet 297 AMP has been developed to run a manual-loving mullet wheel setup. A 27.5” rear wheel gives you more clearance to hang off the back on steep ground or drops, while a stable 29” wheel at the front eats up rocky terrain and keeps momentum high.

Long-Travel RockShox Suspension and SRAM XO1 Eagle Groupset

You’re getting the versatility of both wheel sizes in one bike. Keeping the shifting on-point is SRAM’s XO1 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, paired with powerful SRAM Code RSC disc brakes that should put an end to those cold-sweat moments when you’re coming in just a little too hot. With volume added to the carbon front triangle, stability is rock solid without compromising agility. It’s not a bike for taking just any line, it’s a bike for taking the best line. A bike that tracks so accurately it rewards you with time. Time to line up the next obstacle and pick your route as the trail unfolds in front of you.

Powerful and Dependable Enduro Race Bike

The Sommet is a bike that you sit within, not perch on top. Eagerly shred the refined berms and manicured features of a trail centre but take a step into the wild and that’s where this bike really comes alive, revelling in the unpredictability of naturally technical ground. Whether threading the needle through Enduro tape or dropping in on your favourite descent, speed comes easily to the Sommet AMP. It thrives in the chaos of turbulent trails. Bringing calm where all around there is frenzy.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.

This video demonstrates assembly from a SMALL BOX.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
